If you really think about it a muscle doesn’t know what’s going on. It just performs what is necessary based off of your actions. There could be a lot of stimulus or a little stimulus. The muscle therefore doesn’t “know” the difference.

What people really mean is they are looking for variation and progression. They want to try something different for the variation. The new stimulus will most likely be a progression from what they were originally doing, hence providing soreness and that feeling of getting stronger.

So it happens, it’s just not “muscle confusion.”

Does that make sense?
